Ask HN: Has anyone lost their job due to AI?

I would believe not so, in fact the opposite would happen, there would be more great jobs because of AI.

The age of abundance that AI has created will be the greatest job creator in world history.

I realized recently that to me, a lot of AI evangelism sounds a lot like evangelism for any other religion, and it’s hard to stop seeing it.

It says in the article 4000 people lost their jobs, not that 4000 jobs were created from AI.

Not that I disagree with you, but what new jobs as AI created?

It looks like that article is from June 2023.

Does that change the fact that it clearly answers your question with data from less than a year ago? Or was that a really stupid rhetorical question you didn't actually want answered?

"Amy" can already answer many user questions, and will only improve with time.

The mantra of 2024
